I am a Registered Drama Therapist and a compassionate clinician at Full Circle Counseling and Wellness. My specialized training in drama therapy helps clients who may feel challenged in opening up through traditional talk therapy. Using creative techniques like role-playing, storytelling, and expressive arts, I provide a safe space to explore emotions, identities, and relationships in meaningful ways. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, those navigating addiction recovery, and people healing from PTSD. I also help individuals strengthen their relationships and foster mutual understanding.

My warm, affirming approach acknowledges and values the intersectionality of your identity, offering a treatment space where your unique perspective can shine. In addition to drama therapy, I am trained in more traditional techniques such as psychodynamic therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, DBT, and more.

I’m passionate about helping people balance life and self-care and encourage clients to tap into their creativity to build healthier patterns. To ensure I’m the right fit for your journey, I offer a free consultation. With evening availability, I make therapy accessible for busy schedules. I’m available in person in Peoria & via telehealth in IL & CA.
